LANGUAGE IMPROVING CHAPLAINS’ WORK IN CAMP. For Press Association. AUCKLAND. November 27. “The moral tone of the camps has verv much improved in recent years,’ said the Rev. Mr Olds, of the chaplains’ committee, at the meeting of the Auckland Methodist Synod. “This is helped hv the gradual disappearance of tho old familiar type of sergeantmajor, whose language in.drilling men was so livid.’’ Mr Olds said the relations between Methodist chaplains and the military authorities in the Northern Command were harmonious. Officers always gave the camp chaplains every facility for services and other work. Tins view was endorsed liy the Rev. Mr Reamer, who also paid tribute to the helpfulness of all camp officers. Anv efforts chaplains might make to elevate the tone of the camps were sure of the support of the authorities On the question of the attitude of the church to compulsory three n ontlis’ training camps, the committee had been divided in opinion, and had no recommendation to make. The matter would probably come before the conference. The Y.M.C.A. appeal for a giant was commended to the church.
